Uzdečka (Frenum, Frenum, Frenulum)

The frenulum (Fraenum, Frenum, Frenulum) is a small fold of mucous membrane that is located under the tongue or between the gum and the upper or lower lip. Bridles can be of different types and locations, their shape and size can also vary.

Depending on their location, bridles can have different functions. For example, the tongue frenulum helps keep the tongue in the correct position and prevents it from moving too far forward. The labial frenulum provides support and stability to the upper and lower lips.

Bridles can sometimes cause problems, especially if they are too short or thick. For example, a tongue tie can make it difficult to pronounce certain sounds, and a lip tie can cause gum health problems and lead to the development of periodontitis. In such cases, a frenulum procedure may be required.

Additionally, the frenulum can be any other structure that resembles a frenulum in appearance. For example, the tongue frenulum in some animals, such as cows or sheep, can be used to restrict the movement of the tongue and prevent it from falling out of the mouth.

In conclusion, the frenulum is an important structure in our body that helps in maintaining a healthy mouth and tongue. However, if problems arise with the frenulum, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help and decide whether to remove or leave the frenulum only after consultation with a specialist.



The frenulum (Fraenum, Frenum, Frenulum) is an anatomical structure that is a fold of the mucous membrane.

The frenulum is found in various areas of the body:

  1. The frenulum of the tongue (Frenulum linguae) is a fold of the mucous membrane located under the tongue and connecting it to the floor of the mouth. It limits the mobility of the tongue.

  2. Lip frenulum (Frenulum labii) is a fold of mucous membrane located between the gum and the upper or lower lip. She fixes the lips to the gums.

  3. The clitoral frenulum or genital frenulum (Frenulum clitoridis) is a fold of the mucous membrane connecting the clitoris with the lower parts of the labia minora.

  4. The frenulum of the penis (Frenulum penis) is a fold of skin connecting the head of the penis to the foreskin.

Thus, the frenulum is an anatomical structure in the form of a fold of mucous membrane or skin that performs the function of fixing various organs and structures. In addition, the term "frenulum" can be applied to any other formations that resemble it in appearance.



**Frenulum** is a tightly fitting folded plate of the mucous membrane of the lips. It is located in the form of a narrow transverse fold under the lower and upper lips and along the sides of the tongue. The elasticity of the frenulum allows it to be easily identified by probing the lips with the tip of the tongue. It promotes correct diction in people with speech defects - burr, lisp. Its sufficient development promotes tongue fixation and eliminates malocclusion. When it is injured, pain occurs. If the frenulum is too short, it can cause teeth to develop improperly.
